Hatching success, survival, size and development, and behavioral data for two amphibian species exposed to NaCl and energy-related saline wastewaters

Abstract/Summary

We investigated the relative effects of NaCl and energy-related saline wastewaters on hatching success, survival, size and development, and behaviors of northern leopard frogs ([i]Rana pipiens[/i]) and boreal chorus frogs ([i]Pseudacris maculata[/i]). Eggs were exposed and responses were tracked through hatching for 24 days. Five datasets are included. (1) Includes hatching and survival data for leopard frog eggs and larvae. (2) Includes hatching and survival data for chorus frog eggs and larvae. (3) Includes behavioral responses of both species monitored daily from day 9–24. (4) Includes morphology measurements from larval leopard frogs taken at the end of the experiment on day 24. (5) Includes morphology measurements from larval leopard frogs taken at the end of the experiment on day 24.
